The gray ghost sets your soul free.

Florida Weimaraner Rescue, Inc.

Yes, Weims are known to exhibit separation anxiety.  One of the worst mistakes people make is taking their Weim with them everywhere they go.  The Weim doesn’t understand that when it’s time for the owners to attend a non-dog function why it is left alone and becomes scared or think they are being punished and go into depression or the opposite and become obnoxious trying to get the owners attention.    Starting as a puppy, the Weim should be crate trained.  Weims at any age can be crate trained. 

For crate training guidelines, you may contact a reputable breeder, or go to one of these resources for help:     http://www.kinetic-unity.com/crating.html  or http://www.bestpaw.com/bpf-train.html#crate

Once you begin your crate training or any training, you must be firm, consistent, but, loving.  Remember your Weim is like a toddler on 4 legs for life, you will need to repeat yourself a few times for anything new you are teaching to stick.  Stay the course with your training and you will have the best friend and family member you could ask for.

Question 3—Do Weims experience separation anxiety?

Yes, they are very loyal to their family and children.  Because Weims are so loyal, it can often lead to problems in the home.  It is always best to keep your Weim away from the door when allowing guests to enter your home.  Then, bring the Weim out to introduce them to your company.  Also, Weims are very protective of their family’s children.  They don’t understand that children play fight and kids will hit and bite each other.  The Weim may attempt to punish the child ’hurting’ their family’s child.  They must be socialized with children of all ages and they must be taught it’s okay for kids to play fight.

             The blue Weimaraner can have a very bad temperament, be very stubborn, have various health problems and be extremely independent. 

             However, each Weimaraner should be judged on its own merits as some blues can be a rather nice Weimaraner.
